Abstract: Abstract This contribution addresses the consideration of time windows in the optimization of multi-commodity network flows. For each node, one interval is specified in which the visitation is allowed. Applications in freight flow consolidation let this problem become interesting. An optimization model is proposed and a construction heuristic is presented. For improving the generated solutions, a genetic algorithm framework including several hill climbing procedures for local optimization, is configured.
